Overview
- Carabinieri executed custody orders for an 18-year-old and two minors on accusations including aggravated group sexual violence, sexual acts with a minor under 14, production and possession of child pornography, and acts persecutory.
- Judges in L'Aquila and the juvenile court issued the measures on grave indications gathered by investigators, with the adult held in Sulmona prison and the minors transferred to Casal del Marmo in Rome.
- The probe began in late August when the victim called the 114 child-emergency hotline to report repeated assaults, death threats, and coercion tied to a secretly recorded explicit video.
- A technical analysis extracted at least three explicit videos and two Instagram stories and traced sharing on WhatsApp and Instagram, prompting involvement by the district anti-mafia prosecutor for the pedopornographic dissemination.
- According to prosecutors’ reconstruction reported by local media, the 14-year-old and the 18-year-old allegedly committed the assaults while a 17-year-old filmed, and reports differ on whether the abuse lasted months or up to two years.
